Scarlett

+ scarlet

I thought this was a great book and a wonderful continuation of Margaret Mitchell's story. I hadn't ever ready Gone With The Wind until right before I read this story, so I was reading them back-to-back and couldn't do it. I had to wait a few weeks, read a few other books between them, to really ...

+ Good Book
+ One of the best books in the Anne series!!

I am 13 years old, and have read all the Anne books. My grandfaher gave me a copy of Anne of Avonlea when I was little, but I didn't show the slightist bit of interest at the time. A few years later, I thought I'd pick it up. After I picked it up, my world would never be the same! I had become an ...

"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist--I really believe he is Antichrist--I will have nothing more to do with ...

Anne is All Grown Up and even better than before!

+ Fun, but not the best

I agree with "veggiechiliqueen"! Anne of Windy Poplars is one of the Best! IF you love Anne Shirley, you will love this book. I enjoy Anne for herself and "who she is" the most. Gilbert is just a side attraction, A GOOD side, but just a side. This is one of my favorites because of how much good she ...

As Rebecca learns to channel her energies ...
